St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team, strongest since Red Devil

St. Petersburg has assembled a notable team of heavyweight fighters, potentially the strongest lineup in 20 years since the legendary Red Devil team. The current roster includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko (6-3 at 93kg), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0, young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most compete in ACA, which means they will face losses due to the high level of competition, but those who compile good records there can be considered strong fighters at the world level. Two interesting upcoming matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional athlete in St. Petersburg.
